I have the same Percent Compare Thresholds and Colors like in Numbers Bars Calculated Values, but it is not working. I also set "Color Background Based on Value Percent" to yes

For demonstration, it is the data from Numbers Bars Calculated Values. You can see the Colors in "Numbers Bars Calculated Values" , but not in "Numeric Information Reference".

We are not able to reproduce this. We are wondering if this might be related an issue related to the Numbers Bars study, where certain recent versions had issues with some CPUs. Please update to the latest release and let us know if this is still not working properly.

I updated to the latest version, but there are still no colors for the background. My CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K 3.40 GHz

The coloring is working correctly. What you are not understanding is that the "Numeric Information Reference" study does not have the Input for "Determine Maximum/Minimum Values for Background From". You have this set to "Daily Data" in your Numbers Bars Calculated Values. But since the "Numeric Information Reference" does not have this option, the coloring is always going to be based on all the data in the chart. Therefore, you have a difference in the Maximum/Minimum values that are used to determine the coloring between the two studies.

Ok, thank you for the information. Now I undestand how the background coloring of this study works.
